Abseil From the Stadium Roof - Reminder

There are still a limited number of places left on this for anyone who is interested

Marie Curie Cancer Care Abseil at the Stadium of Light

Show you care! Take part in this fantastic abseil at the Stadium of Light. Places over the weekend of the 6th and 7th March 2004 are limited so book early to avoid disappointment.

Abseil from the stadium roof on to the walk of fame on the perimeter of the stadium and raise sponsorship funds to support the team Marie Curie Nurses working in your area in the homes of people with cancer. We know that they can make a big difference to the difficult experience of caring for a terminally ill loved one.

At 50m, and a part freefall abseil, this is an ideal abseil for the beginner.
Challenge yourself, your best mate – even the mother in law!

Be one of the elite group to scale the dizzy heights at the Stadium of Light and help Marie Curie Cancer Care score a goal against cancer.

NOTE: Should the advertised dates clash with us being drawn at home in the FA Cup, the event will automatically switch to the weekend of Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st March.

Myhre loan extended...again!

Keeper Thomas Myhre's loan spell has been extended yet again - this time, by an additional week.

Myhre is currently in his third month at Selhurst Park, and was due to return after this weekend's clash with Watford - but the move enables him to play for Palace when they face Bradford on 24th January.

Teggart loan move on hold

Striker Neil Teggart's expected loan move to in-crisis Darlington has been put on hold after the youngster was injured in training.

The Northern Echo says that the young Northern Irishman was on the verge of joining David Hodgson's team on a month's loan, but the deal is on hold while Teggart recovers from a hamstring injury.

Quakers' boss Hodgson, himself a former Sunderland player, said "It's a shame because we've heard a lot of good things about Neil. We're still confident of bringing the lad to the club but it might not be for another week.

"I spoke to Mick McCarthy this morning and he's very highly thought of at Sunderland."

Teggart was top scorer for SAFC U19's last season.

Darlington went into administration shortly after Christmas and Chairman George Reynolds stepped down from his post earlier this week - Teggart's loan move to the club is only possible because a local businessman has offered to pay his wages.
